Animal Welfare

EA Law - East Anglian Chambers understands the problems associated with businesses in our rural part of the country. We have experience in all aspects of animal welfare, farming and other related prosecutions.

In an increasingly regulated world of Animal Welfare, farmers, corporate bodies and individuals can find themselves on the wrong side of the law very easily.

EA Law – East Anglian Chambers have vast experience in

defending clients against:

Environmental prosecutions

Prosecutions for breach of animal movement regulations including cattle passports

Animals transport and welfare prosecutions

Non-registration of livestock

Health and safety issues

Other prosecutions by, for example, DEFRA

We also have a history of dealing with prosecutions brought by the RSPCA, both against farmers and private individuals. These are often the most distressing cases which are prosecuted most vigorously.

The RSPCA is a robust opponent, to say the least. Therefore, experienced and skilled representation is absolutely vital. We have dealt with a whole variety of offences involving hunting with dogs, interference with badgers, poaching, alleged animal suffering, and disturbance/possession of rare animals and birds. We also deal with alleged illegal possession of caged birds.
